'A Game We Made Up' & 'Stories We Have Been Told' were both completed during the exchange project Swap/Vaihto - where artists from Helsinki swapped working environments with artists from Manchester and vice versa. In 'A Game We Made Up', Carson & Miller created a series of bespoke narrative games, designed to be played in specific locations matched to particular players, drawn from the people taking part in the exchange.
'Stories We Have Been Told' starts where 'A Game We Made Up' ends. In this work - presented in audio and print - Carson & Miller reconsider the results of the games they played in 'A Game We Made Up', condensing and re-telling the narratives they had been told in this game format.
